THE Work we do – together

One person - well equipped and strategically placed - will take territory.

Using the legislative process as a backdrop, this three-day training program equips young people to lead in any arena.

"I was honored to speak to and express my deep appreciation for the DLC students' willingness to spend time developing their skills and knowledge. I encouraged them all to take these lessons back to their communities and become the leaders they are destined to be."

"Delaware Leadership Congress was truly a life changing experience for me ... I have learned amazing leadership principles and have also gained so much confidence. My knowledge about government and our role was extremely limited but DLC has ignited in me to fight for the heart of this nation. It's an experience I will never forget."

“At DE Leadership Congress, you will be provided with tools and resources for effectively communicating the truth, thinking through ideas critically, and defending your ideas for the purpose of changing hearts and minds - essentially, everything you would need to develop your God-given talents and help you confidently walk the path God is preparing for you.”

"Delaware Leadership Congress is the BEST short-term Christian Leadership program for youth and young adults. My son Andrew has participated for six years in a row, and this year, he was appointed and served as Speaker of the House. This program has had an outsized influence on his life and development, and I could not be more gratified and proud."
